Founded by the Smiley Family in 1869, our Victorian castle resort is nestled in the Hudson Valley on top of a mountain, bordering the crystal waters of Lake Mohonk and surrounded by 40,000 acres of pristine forest. Located only 90 miles north of New York City, our National Historic Landmark resort offers an inclusive experience with three incredible farm-to-table meals daily and most activities included in the rate as well as any additional fees (excluding taxes), so the rate you see is the rate you get. Add-on experiences available including our newly refreshed spa with outdoor treatment room, horseback riding, rock climbing and more. Advance reservations required.

The historic resort is very upscale on beautiful grounds and includes meals and almost every activity in the price of your stay. Food choices for the meals were varied and tasty but the menu seemed to be repeated daily. When making a dinner reservation, earlier may be better than later as they ran out of a seafood entree during our later reservation. The kind staff was always attentive to our needs and did everything possible to make our stay memorable.

Hotel's Favorite
I was hesitant to embark on this three night trip to Mohonk Mountain House arranged by my girlfriend. I was very pleasantly surprised. Let’s start with the food. All reservations include three meals per day. There are several options for each meal. It’s too much food, but it is delicious. For breakfast, you can dine in the Main dining room and have your choice of many delectable options. I had a lobster omelette, eggs Benedict, and a vegetarian omelette. All three were outstanding. They also were able to prepare my Bulletproof coffee, which is part of my keto diet. You can also eat in the Lake Lounge where there is a complete buffet including scrambled eggs. Having had a complete breakfast each day, lunch was unnecessary, but it was included. Again you can eat in the Main dining room where there are a variety of tasty options from which to choose. Lunch includes a starter, an entrée and dessert. I particularly enjoyed the gazpacho and lobster salad. Everything I ordered was great. The desserts especially are wonderful at Mohonk Mountain House. Or you can go to the Granary, which is an outdoor buffet-style area with picnic tables. There you can order hotdogs, hamburgers, mushroom burgers, vegetarian burgers or a pulled meat barbecue sandwich. There are a variety of salads and fruit options. For dessert you have your choice of cakes, cookies, brownies or ice cream. I could have eaten there every day. We had dinner at three different venues. The main dining room is almost gourmet standard fare. The starters, entrées and desserts were all excellent. Another night we ate at the Pavilion, which was the potential bad weather option for the Granary. Again, it’s buffet style with your choice of different cookout options. There were also crabcakes, mussels, salmon, cold salads, vegetables, and a carving station. Desserts are similar to the lunch options of cakes, pies and ice cream. My only complaint was that we went on the late side and some of the food in the chafing dishes was cold and we were rushed to leave. If you go to the Granary for dinner, go early. Our final dining destination was the West dining room, which is a much smaller room than the Main dining room and, I believe, serves a slightly different menu. Nevertheless, my girlfriend’s pasta and my steak were excellent as were the desserts. Dining at Mohonk Mountain House is a treat. Be prepared to put on some pounds. There are plenty of things to do at Mohonk Mountain House. There is a relatively new spa with indoor pool, swimming and boating at the Lake, which is directly next to the hotel. There are tennis courts, a basketball court, volley ball, discus golf, and a playground. At the bottom of the mountain, Mohonk has a nine hole golf course. It is short, but very challenging with narrow fairways, blind shots, major elevation changes and some severely sloped greens. Our room was spacious enough with a balcony and rocking chairs overlooking the rear side putting green and a view of the lake. Tipping is included in your room rate and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I will compare it to the training received by Ritz Carlton employees. Despite the relatively expensive accommodations, There were plenty of families with children there. They claim they have been sold out since January 1., which is a great thing since it means they can retain their employees throughout the year. I give Mohonk House a big thumbs up.…

We had a new furnished room that was quite small but was good for us. Some might find it too small but we were seldom there and when we were we found the large bathroom fitting our needs more than the small room. The outdoor sports we're good. Some people wanted pickle ball and I think that is probably in the plans There was a wobbly hand rail in one area . Once we let the people that greet you at the car (cannot remember their job right now), they had a person come by in five minutes with orange cones ...then we left the area We were their when they were serving about 150 dinners a night. We missed the bus boys and other helpers but they were hired for the next week that was the beginning of summer season for the Mohonk. Where they had 300 meals to serve on Friday night. Our food was great. No complaints. Peregrines were nesting so we had to be quiet on certain parts of the paths. It was awesome to see them flying so close to us. New Bathrooms up at Skytop were clean, smelled good, and great to have them available. For folks that could not follow the rules of carrying out their trash Mohonk put in bear proof garbage spots. …

The care of the guest experience that staff gives is constant. You can be as active or alone as you wish. I considered staying there as a gift I gave myself. To be able to spend time in nature and the mountains and yet be entertained with educational and fun activities was unexpected. The food was wonderful. The historic hotel was beautiful.

Our friends have been to Mohonk Mountain House several times and described it in ways that I thought would be hard to achieve. Mohonk Mountain House exceeded those expectations and is a five-star location with top-notch service and food. The setting is beautiful whether you are looking toward the mountains or lake. All the lake view rooms were sold out, so we "settled" for a mountains view and it was spectacular, especially at sunset. The food was amazing and tasted as good or better than top restaurants. We ate at Garvan's Restaurant nearby one evening after our stay was over and Mohonk was as good as the top restaurant in the area. Alcoholic beverages are pricey. The staff and meal service was excellent. They have an exchange program, so it was a delight to talk with servers from all over the globe. It is clear they all take great pride in working at the resort. The hotel has an interesting history and there is a presentation available about it as well as photos and descriptions on the walls. The rooms are nice with updated bathrooms, but they could add electrical outlet connections to the lamps beside the bed(s) to give more places to plug in electronics. It was good to escape TV for a while as TVs are not available in rooms, but the Wi-Fi works well in case folks want to watch on their own. The walking and hiking are just seconds out the door from Mohonk and are as good as we have experienced in Colorado, Montana, and Utah. The trails are easy to walk on and the views are breathtaking. We hope to return to Mohonk Mountain House many times in the future.…

MOHONK IS EVERYTHING! We loved our stay. I have no words to properly describe the beauty, the house, the people, the food. We came for our anniversary and it was worth every penny. Our room came with a complimentary bottle of wine to celebrate the occasion. From hiking the expansive trails to petting the horses, it was all simply glorious. The food, every last bit was literally the best ever. The staff truly love their jobs. We loved the natural setting, the hiking, boating and walking the grounds. The spa was to die for. Promise no one paid me to write this review, it simply is MAGICAL. Go! You can also bring your family which is truly special. Even though we were away as a couple, seeing all of the families together made my heart so full. We are planning to go back with our whole family this fall. I literally cried when we left, I was so sad to leave. …

My wife and I did a stay at Mohonk Mountain House in mid-February. This is an all inclusive resort and it is well worth it. Since we went in the winter, we had snow tubing available (it was a lot of fun), ice skating under a covered pavilion (the ice was better than some rinks I have skated on in NYC) and hiking trails. Of course, since it is winter, several of the trail paths and rock paths are closed but there was still many trails open offering a great hiking experience. A must hike is to go up to Sky Top Tower and take in the views. Now for the House amenities. The food is outrageous. Breakfast, lunch and dinners were delicious. There was always a great dinner selection with a good variety, including a special of the day that was usually something you wouldn't go out on your own to order but you figure, while I am here, what the heck. The dinner staff were all friendly and helpful, especially the greeter at the front desk of the main dining room. During the week we were there, the Mohonk House had nightly entertainment and each night's entertainment was very enjoyable. …

I don't have time to extol all the virtues of Mohonk Mountain House, but saw a review from some braggart called teambk or some such as the first hit on a search. Mohonk is not for everyone. Some people might not understand that Victorian means most rooms aren't giant. If room size is so important, there are plenty of modern hotels for you. She said they tried for hours to light a fire. Did they really though? Would such a well traveled couple who've experienced travel worldwide really not have thought to call down to the desk for help? I think not. I think their review was a smear at worst, and that they are simply not Mohonk style at best. I find people who need large diamonds on their fingers, or foolish cars, often don't "get it." Mohonk is the most special hotel in this country. Hotel del Coronado, which used to be in the running, has renovated itself to be unrecognizable to appeal to people who think "room size" is a deciding factor. Go with the intent of being charmed endlessly. Explore the whole place. Go to the little evening entertainment. And yes, you might get a little frisson thinking of the Shining as you walk those long halls, which is, also, delightful. If they were serving tv dinners, that dining room is glorious, but they're not. Go, enjoy yourself, count your blessings to live a life that allows such a special experience.…

A very last minute 3 day Friday-Monday 5/4- 7 after booking Thursday morning.5/3 for our 39th anniversary. We are always away on our anniversary ( 38 out of 39 years) but extenuating circumstances with our 12 year old poodle going to the hospital forced us to stay home and only do a very last minute trip after she passed away from diabetes.. We are leafers and usually go international or south in the Spring...this was our first time North....quite frankly we enjoy the fall leaves more...but the Spring looks were very fine as well!! We were pretty darn satisfied with our experience save a few minor issues for our 1006.00 per day room. We were in room 582 overlooking the lake with many windows..( 4) Although I had requested a King or two queens that room came only with a queen. The front desk told us they were completely booked....and couldn't change our room..but fortunately we discovered a pull out loveseat and after 39 years ...not optimal but not a deal breaker..lol....we aren't 27 anymore ! There is no coffee in the rooms...there is coffee in the sitting room by the concierge an the central portion of the ground floor but a super long walk to get there made it not worth it..and who wants to prowl long hallways in disheveled morning face ?? The queen was comfortable and additional pillows were brought quickly and efficiently. When we checked out on Monday we informed the front desk of our situation and asked if they could do anything but we had to leave and were pleasantly surprised when our folio was adjusted to reflect a 200.00 credit.. Now the good and great!! Tipping is included in your room rate and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I will compare it to the training received by Ritz Carlton employees. Everyone seems to be happy and each experience with the staff was terrific! Although there aren't any TV's in the room one came quickly upon our request with 42 channels Direct TV... Apparently all reservations include three meals per day. There are several options for each meal. lotsa food !!! It is very good!. Main dining room requires reservations in advance. There really aren't any bad seats in the house with a wall of floor to ceiling windows and surprisingly quiet ..even with kids and families present nearer the front entrance where they have large seating capacity tables. For breakfast, you can dine in the Main dining room and they had a window seat for us..and have your choice of many delicious options. eggs Benedict, vegetarian or regular omelets, Belgian Waffles, crispy bacon, sausage fruit cereal ect.. outstanding. You can also eat in the Lake Lounge ( where the coffee is ) and there is a complete buffet including scrambled eggs. Lunch is also included. ...you can eat in the Main dining room where there are a variety of tasty options from which to choose. We had a window seat ..Lunch includes a starter, an entrée and dessert. Carving stations ect. Everything we ordered was great. The desserts are wonderful at Mohonk Mountain House. The main dining room is almost gourmet standard fare. The starters, entrées and desserts were all excellent. Desserts are similar to the lunch options of cakes, pies and ice cream. Dining at Mohonk Mountain House is a treat. Be prepared to put on some pounds. I borrowed this from an earlier review...There are plenty of things to do at Mohonk Mountain House. There is a relatively new spa with indoor pool, swimming and boating at the Lake, ( paddle boats for two or larger rowboats )..which is directly next to the hotel. We rowed back and forth along the 1/4 mile lake...quiet and serene and beautiful. There are tennis courts, pickle ball ,a basketball court, volley ball, discus golf, and a playground. At the bottom of the mountain, Mohonk has a nine hole golf course. It is short, but very challenging with narrow fairways, blind shots, major elevation changes and some severely sloped greens.( We did not play) You will need 24 hr notice to sign up for archery and tomahawk throwing...we hiked past those areas and they looked beautiful...and safe!! We hiked every day for a couple of hours...not too strenuous....and we saw Porcupines in the trees eating leaves on two occasions.. At the top of a lightly strenuous trail you can see 6 states!! Despite the relatively expensive accommodations, There were plenty of families with children there. ....and reunions abound!! We think you will enjoy your trip. BTW...2 days would be fine....we were ready to move on after 2 days ...although you receive a full day at the resort and all their amenities on the 4pm checkin time or 12 noon checkout day....so coming early is fine as well as staying after checkout times. …
